vicious build scripts - gnome 2.0

[Travis Saling <trav u washington edu>]

Hi,

This might generate a "this is the wrong list for this" response - and
certainly it's one of the hazards of playing with CVS versions of
software. But anyway..

I was trying out the gnome2 CVS vicious build scripts. The process chugs
along for quite some time, but eventually I run into the following
error. Unfortunately there's absolutely no explanatory comments that I
can find anywhere. Has anyone seen this?

I'm pretty sure I sourced the right file at the right time, and I've
followed the steps in the order indicated (source, bootstrap, rebuild).
The only change I've made is in gnome-head, where I've got
"BASE=$HOME/gnome" instead of the default "BASE=/gnome". 

Any ideas? Is it just that this section is currently broken in CVS? 
Thanks!
